The "stack-overflow" test expected output seems to vary when using libv8
version that is in debian :
https://github.com/joyent/node/commit/56417251

As you said, executing the tests in a chroot seems to trigger those
variations.
Fixing the cause of this bug in  libv8 looks hard, unless someone can point
us to the right v8 commit.

As a workaround we could loosen the expected result described in
test/message/stack_overflow.out

to something like (to be tested) :


before

*test*message*stack_overflow.js:*
*function*
*^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
